I am at 135000 and mine responded well to the i/h/e it would say yea. Just keep in mind that that many mile things could go wrong. I would cheack the compression to make sure you rings and ext... are still good before dumping money in it.

Why don't you rebuild your engine a bit, you might regain some of the lost HP.

my 95 gsr has 149k on it and seems strong but 150k is alot of miles to start doing performance mods. i figure for the cost of rebuilding the engine i could sell my engine and buy a JDM type R. do some matence before you do mods
